Ms Bond told the Mirror: “I think they [Harry and Meghan] have moved on from their royal roles.
“They are now full-blown celebrities. And this award was for both of them, so it was natural that they make a joint appearance.”
The royal commentator went on to say that there is no “rivalry” between the Sussexes and the Waleses due to the clash of recent events and added: “The two princes and Catherine were involved in mental health issues before Meghan came along. It is something they care deeply about.
“The message that both couples are now promoting is that society has to do something about the dangers that the Internet, and particularly social media, pose to our children. It is an important message, and one that affects us all.”
She concluded: “I think both couples should rightly be applauded for using their fame, be it as royals or celebrities, to highlight this crucial issue.”
